Hope it helped you break through to where you can "wing it" on a solo.

What is particularly interesting about this is that the notes from the G, C, D major pentatonic scales are all contained in the G major scale. This is the same for any major chord progression. A, D, E or C, F, G or whatever. ADE major pentatonics fit on the A major scale. CFG major pentatonics fit on C major scale. And so on. This is a great lesson!

Steve, you nailed it...some would say just use the major scale of the key, but breaking it down this way is a nice way to play good sounding stuff over each chord.

@@EddieCollinsMusic Yes, I wasn't hitting the Root at the top of each chord change and it sounds a lot better when I do. Thanks! Perhaps you can take this idea a bit farther and cover how to fit in the flat 3rd and flat 7th?

I did a bit of that in this lesson, but still could do one that focusses on that even more. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idqKqNOr0sXTkXU.html

How about the same lesson with the banjo?

@EddieCollinsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

It's on my to do list. It is definitely a different approach on the banjo, because we are trying to work in our rolls.

I don't understand why with pentatonic shapes you have to switch for every chord, with just regular scales you just play the same scale over all the chords so aren't you just playing g pentatonic form c to c if you are in g but playing a c chord?

@EddieCollinsMusic Жыл бұрын

You don't "have" to switch, it's just one approach. But to think of it as I'm doing hear, there is no C note in a G pentatonic scale, so I'm actually playing the notes of a C pentatonic, from C to C. All of those notes are, however, in the G major scale, which is the glue of how it all fits together.
